Does anyone else see a metaphor here for the current debt limit debacle? President Obama as the captain dozing in the back and the clowns in the Congress as the two copilots? The Air France tragedy didn't take as long, but we have been in a stall for a long time and haven't yet put the spending nose down.

There are only three ways to get out of a stall, put the nose down, add power or do both. The nose has to be put down now, not sometime later; the spending throttles are as far forward as they can go.

No, I see more of a comparison to the Air Egypt flight that went down with the pilot yelling Allah Akbar! as he held the nose down.

Our Alinksyite in chief wants the biggest crash possible so he can rebuild America. So he wants to keep spending for a while until we are totally blown away by debt/inflation. Whether he gets his way on spending or not, his next primary wish is to blame it all on the Republicans.
